UHS Confidentiality Policy<\/h3>\n

All visits to UHS are confidential. UHS will not share any information about the fact or nature of a patient’s visit to UHS without the patient’s permission. Notification of others, including friends, parents\/guardians, supervisors, and University administrators and faculty, is considered the patient’s responsibility unless the condition is life-threatening and the patient is unable to assume responsibility for informing others. Parental notification and consent will be obtained for patients under age 18 as required by law.<\/p>\n

UHS Patient Rights & Responsibilities<\/h3>\n

At UHS, patients are treated with respect, dignity, and privacy in a caring and considerate manner. Patients are assured of confidentiality regarding their care and records and have a right to approve or refuse the release of their records, except when required by law or in a life-threatening situation. Patients are responsible for being honest, discussing their concerns openly, acting in a considerate and cooperative manner, and following through with agreed-upon care. To assure our patients are treated in a manner recognizing their basic human rights, the University Health Service has established a listing of\u00a0Patient Rights and Responsibilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Respect for Diversity<\/h3>\n
